Get Started FreeFrequently asked questions
How do I find a seamstress or tailor near me?
Post what needs doing on HandIt for free: trousers to hem, a dress to take in, a zipper to replace, a jacket to adjust. Neighbors who sew reply with offers, their profiles show reviews from previous alterations, and you pay securely by card once you are happy with the fit. Many will pick the garment up or work from home, so you skip the trip to a shop.
What alterations can I ask for?
The everyday ones: hemming trousers and skirts, taking in or letting out a waist, shortening sleeves, replacing zippers and buttons, mending tears and seams, resizing a coat, patching a favorite pair of jeans. Made-to-measure pieces, curtains and cushion covers work too. Describe the garment, attach a photo and say when you need it back; the offers will tell you what is realistic.
How much does an alteration cost and how long does it take?
A simple hem or a zipper is usually a same-week job at a modest price; resizing a jacket or sewing something from scratch takes longer and costs more. Set the budget you have in mind when you post the task and helpers will say in their offers what they charge and when they can deliver, so there are no surprises at pickup.
